I'm about an hour or 3 away from buying the VERY hard to find anywhere P-38 Lightening ARF from General Hobby. Its on sale right now for $230 and for a Twin, and even if it flies at all with twice the expected work on it, Its worth it. And yet at the same time, what if it doesn't fly worth a darn? On that note, does anyone have ANY info/experience on how the GH P-38 flies? With Nitroplanes, I have experienced both heaven and hell with their planes quality. My 76" Tiger Moth (with 4 ailerons!) is a absolute sweetheart with the big Magnum 1.80 4S in the nose for ballast... I say ballast because she is one HEAVY ship and tough to hit CG! On the other hand, I assembled and crashed their pos $79 Pitts Special that simply wasted 2 days of my life and a lot of hard work ... I think the bottom of a Kleenex box would have made a better wing airfoil... Anyway, any info on the NP/GH/Raidentech P-38 90" ARF would be awesome. Thanks!
